Let’s make an incredible appetizer or game day dip that’s high in protein and ridiculously good. 🍕🔥

With almost 20g protein per serving, this one is perfect as a dip, an appetizer, or honestly even a meal if you’re feeling it.

Here’s how to make it:

1️⃣ Process 1 tub cottage cheese (16oz), 2 garlic cloves, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp Aleppo chili flakes, 1 tsp Italian seasoning in a small food processor or blender.

2️⃣ Grab an oven-safe dish. Add half of the cottage cheese mixture at the base and spread evenly. Add 1/2 cup marinara sauce as the next layer, then top with 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Colby jack cheese. Spread the remaining cottage cheese mixture, then add another 1/2 cup of marinara sauce. Finish with another cup of shredded cheese.

3️⃣ Top with thinly sliced peppers, olives, or any other pizza toppings you like. Of course I add lots of pepperoni, but you can use any protein you prefer.

4️⃣ Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes till nice and bubbly then top with fresh basil and hot honey. To make a homemade version, I just mixed 1/4 cup honey and 2 tbsp sriracha on low heat and poured it over the dish.

5️⃣ Serve hot with your favorite vessel—chips, crackers, or veggies.
